What was the first word that KIKO uttered? As I remember it right, he could baby talk as early as four months old. The sound of his voice was seemingly making a lot of sense already. Check out this post.

Now at 2 years and 10 months old, he hardly speaks clear yet but we somehow comprehend the words he uttered first then realized later what he meant.

Is he talking to someone on the phone?

Nothing he said made sense :(

He's making an ACT

We don't tolerate him saying baby talk. We speak to him with straight words. He's just a natural joker. Toddlers like KIKO may start to experiment words and their modulations. There are times that he may shout or even cry if I don't understand any word he says. It's a normal reaction. He can tell a story though "paputol-putol" with matching INHALE-EXHALE... but his version is quite understandable. He can't pronounce letter "R" that perfect but he practically knew every letter in the alphabet.

I even documented some of his wild ( not wide yet ) vocabulary...

KU-DAYBO - can be plus (+) or minus (-) ; it depends on the type of screw

Aside from being familiar with the letters, he can now write a few such as A. Just watch this.

And I'm sure, by the time he turns 3, KIKO will be a more sophisticated and hopefully smart talker. Maybe, he'll be able to carry on a sustained conversation and adjust his tone, speech patterns, and vocabulary to fit the person he's talking to in a particular situation.

By now, other adults, including strangers, should be able to understand almost everything he says, which means I won't have to do as much translating. He may even be a pro at saying his first and last name and his age — and will readily oblige when asked.
